Answer Question
Here we go!
This week I get to try out my German (currently: lesson 12, Level 4), as I am heading to Germany for Christmas! I realize that many people I encounter will speak English and that I'll be pretty tongue-tied, but I'm so excited to see what I've learned! I came to Fluenz with a pretty big vocabulary but no understanding of grammer. It doesn't matter how many words you know if you don't know how to construct sentences. What I've found, in preparing for this trip, is that I no longer need to look for that British flag in the corner of a webpage to understand what's there! Some sentence structure which seemed really awkward a few months ago now almost seems natural--as a matter of fact, I have been producing strange English sentences with TMP. I can really parse out what I hear, even if it's spoken fairly rapidly. Perfect? no. Better? MUCH.
To those of you working through the levels: Keep going. Sometimes it's hard to find time, and sometimes it gets confusing. I've found when I'm feeling confused or frustrated that a day or two with the flashcards helps me see the patterns and realize how much I do know.
To those of you who created this wonderful program: Thank you! I never thought I could keep interested and keep going, but I have!
Happy Holidays to all!
